Frequently asked questions

How do I hire engineers and technicians from abroad?

In three steps: recognition of the qualification (via ZAB/anabin, or professional recognition for regulated trades), a visa or EU Blue Card, and proof of German. TalentSure manages the whole process from selection through integration.

What does it cost to recruit international skilled workers?

Total cost depends on source country, the recognition pathway and language preparation. Use our cost calculator to work out what an unfilled position really costs.

How long does it take to hire?

Typically 4 to 9 months from selection to starting work, depending on recognition, visa appointments and language level.

What recognition do foreign engineers need?

For engineers, the assessment of the university degree (ZAB/anabin) is key; for regulated trades such as electricians or mechatronics technicians, professional recognition is required. TalentSure handles the application.

Which countries do the skilled workers come from?

Key source countries include India, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Turkey. Recruitment is fair and transparent.

What level of German is required?

Depending on the role, B1 to B2 is required. Our candidates are prepared specifically for this, including technical language.
